> [@DarkkstaR](#): > > These are plain shipping boxes, I can ship them USPS right? I highly doubt it would matter if they said UPS on them. We get UPS, DHL, and USPS boxes with FedEx shipping labels coming through FedEx everyday. ---

Take the usps boxes that are free, flip them inside out and BAM. I do it all the time, i once bought a box from the UPS store to ship an exhaust to germany and the fucking box cost $13. I have looking in cardboard dumpsters for boxes lately and you wouldnt think it but theres alot of money to be saved by going in there. ---

I remember you could flip the USPS boxes, but didn’t they start putting “Property of USPS” on the inside, so if you flipped them that would show. Why local? Jump on [uline.com](http://uline.com), i order on monday and get it tuesday with UPS ground, they have a warehouse in PA or OH that basically ships overnight with UPS ground for us in WNY… ---

I just used one of my USPS boxes to ship a item to thailand, the boxes are plain on the inside. It so easy to walk into a USPS and take a shit load of boxes for free. You can go the main post office on william, tell them you have a business and you want to use there shipping service, they will give you as many free boxes as you can take. ---
